Yes, the cost-share must be met.  She may not like it, but she will have to have 20% of her salary cost-shared and the remaining 80% paid for by the grant.  Being that it is Dept. of Ed. funding, stick to your guns!  You are right on this.

I have a SSS-TRiO program director claiming she is no longer responsible for the cost-share the institution offered up in the proposal application in 2005.  The original director was a faculty member and wrote in the application that 20% of her salary would be offered as cost-share to the project.  The new director is not faculty and is fully paid from the Dept. of Ed funded grant.  I am telling her she is still required to report the cost-share because it was written in the application and her award letter states "The amount of non-federal funds the recipient must contribute to the project as identified in the recipient's application.  When non-federal funds are identified by the recipient where a cost share is not a legislation requirement, the recipient will be required to provide the non-federal funds."  Am I correct in telling her she must still report the cost-share that was offered in the original application?
